Six Sentence Stories - Light

The blog hop Six Sentence Stories sent me dipping into the past.  I'm linking my six to Six Sentence Stories - Light.  What memories come to your mind when you think of the word light?  What creative juices start flowing when you receive this cue?  Why not write a six sentence story in a post and share for the blog hop?  It is fun!
